Default Flowering Height Question
Hey guys.. My lady is doing very nice, growing much more than ever and looking very lush green and nice lil buds starting to pop out all the way down the main stems and getting nice and bushy.. The only problem is that its outgrowing its area (inside barfridge)..

I started flowering at about 14" exactly 2 weeks ago and its already doubled in height and is getting much bushier.. Its too late to tie it down because there isnt enough room for it now. Im thinking about drilling a hole the size of the pot in the bottom of the fridge and then putting boards on either side and that way the plant will be able to fill out the fridge without the extra height of the pot. Im not too worried about the width of the plant, I dont think it will get much wider.

My question is, does anyone have a clue how much taller to expect this plant to get?? I know ppl say that it doubles to triples in height, but its flowering conditions have been much better than vegging.. 2 X 26 watt 2700K, 2 X 26 watt 6500K and 1 45 watt 2700K. Temp ranges from 70-82 degrees and humidity between 40%-65%. It was vegged for approx 2 months, with only 2 26 watt 6500K lights on it at the most (sometiems 1). It was stunted as well because it got burnt to shit by the lights when I wasnt home and i chopped off almost every single fan leaf. It basically didnt grow half the time it was alive, but is thriving now!!

Heres a pic taken a couple days ago.
Any ideas?

? theres not enough rooom for it to grow sideways.. the width and depth of the fridge are full with the width of the plant..
anyone have an idea of how much taller it should get? Just wondering because if the height of the pot wont be enough (12inches), then I wont bother because drilling through the outer metal part on the bottom of the fridge will be a bitch, and Ill just have to move it to a different set up if its still going to be too big

All strains are different but as a general rule they have there most growth the first two weeks of flowering. The next two weeks will be half the growth of the first two weeks. So if it grew 12" the first two weeks and will grow 6" the next two weeks. They stop getting taller after the 4th week. This is a general rule and cant guarantee your plant will react this way.

thanks for the input!

well from the picture it looks like a sativa and they can grow very tall so you can see anywhere form just double to 7 or 8 times its original height. I doubt it will as doesnt look like very much light is on the plant as it seems thgin and spread but it may stretch looking for light.Try the hole in the fridge and use a indica next grow they saty short and compact good luck

Thanks filthy.. Never really looked too much at diff between indica and sativa..I found this on the net.

HEIGHT

When growing indoor, we have complete control over how tall these plants get, just by how long we grow them before flowering is initiated. Artificial lights do not efficiently penetrate much more than 3 feet down into the garden, so it makes little sense to grow them much bigger than that.
After the light schedule is changed to 12 hours on and 12 hours off, flowering will begin in about 7 to 14 days. During this time the plants will continue to grow another 6 to 14 inches and then stop. How much they will grow depends on the indica/sativa ratio of the strain. Sativas will stretch the most. Depending on this ratio, flowering should be initiated at around 18 to 24 inches to achieve the end height of 36 inches. How long it will take to get this tall depends on the strain and the conditions in the garden.

JUst my 2 cents. If you could move it as easy as you can get more height in the fridge, would you just move it? I have cut the top off satavias and still gotten 6' high plants.

yeah still not sure what im going to do... Ill either have to make a new light set up in my larger cabinet (because light set up is too narrow for this plant right now), or drill the hole and hope for the best..

I have 4 female clones that have all rooted and are showing new growth.. they are in a seperate area with 18/6 timer. Going to keep a mother with one of them, and flower the other 3 very soon..

OR... I may just flower them all and am thinking about getting an indica strain for next grow.. BC God Bud looks amazing to me, anyone know the best place to get it?

got the hole drilled, made some legs to hoist up the fridge, and now its got another 14-16" to grow in height.. i can move the pot up and down by putting boards undnerneath the pot.. about 2 hours and 15 bowls later... too lazy to take pics
what you guys think?
